My Toyota Avalon xls 2003 is the issue, yesterday both right…

Mechanic's Assistant: Sometimes things that you think will be really complicated end up being easy to fix with a Toyota. The Toyota Mechanic I'm going to connect you with knows all the tricks and shortcuts. Tell me a bit more about what's going on so he can help you best.

Yesterday both right and turn signals stopped working completely

Mechanic's Assistant: Are you hoping to fix this yourself?

Yes

Mechanic's Assistant: Great! What have you tried so far?

Checking for fuses

Mechanic's Assistant: Is there anything else the Toyota Mechanic should be aware of about your Toyota?

When you push the four-way Flasher button can you hear any relay click on or do the lights work? Do you have a voltmeter or A simple 12 V test light to check a few things? Is there anything else in the vehicle that does not work? The dome light? The horn?

Everything else works. No click sounds at all. And no, I do not have a voltmeter.

If the four way flashers are not working and the turn signals are not working the only way to find out what happened or what's causing this is to check for specific voltage at specific points. To do this you need at least simple 12 V test light. Is this something that you think you would be able to pick up at the parts store or something that you would be willing to try or are you just looking for general ideas as to what to do?

You will need to get to a nearby auto parts store like AutoZone or similar and purchase a generic simple 12 V test light. This will have a simple clamp on one end that would clamp onto a good metal surface and a probe with a light built into the probe. Typically less than $15 for a decent one. You don't want to go to cheap because it will have a flimsy cord and lousy bulb in it.

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.
